Day 18 (May 27) Bocadillo del Camino to Carrion de los Condes – 16.5 miles
Today I started off alone. I was glad of that, as words may have spoiled this peaceful beauty.
As I walked down a canal side path, the music of the morning began. http://trishdeford.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/img_1056-1.movIt was almost as if the creatures were calling and responding to one another.
I soon ran into Mickey, John and Arlo at a coffee stop. We walked together for the rest of the day. Lunch was at a cafe next to a Palomare, a 19th C dovecote. The inside had been cleaned, so we went in for a look. Amazing that a farmer would build this house and the doves would just move right in.
As we walked on, I talked with John, an engineer, about his life as the child of Irish pub owners. They lived over the store and he washed a lot of glasses as a youth. He has accomplished much since then and shared his views on Brexit and the British heath system. Interesting.
After my post walk shower, laundry and foot treatment, we met in the square for a beer. Then our group of five had dinner and attended the Pilgrim’s Mass. A nun, who played guitar and sang with a sweet, clear voice, gave us paper stars and told us to “always remember to look up.”

Trish,
You may or may not run into Bart Harvey who is also walking the same a you. His daughter is staying with me and reading about your journey. She is inspired and will be next to walk that way hopefully with me.
We love the scenery that you describe. New England ( at least Boston ) is still in a drizzly fog on and off with some beautiful days peaking out in between. We wish we were where you are. So brave to do solo.
Much Love,
Tina & Nellie
Your journey
Trish,
Thanks for keeping us updated on your rigorous journey. The descriptions of the landscape and insights on the people are so vivid, I feel like I am there Camino with you, without all of the foot pain! I particularly like all of the photos of the architecture. Keep up the energy, keep looking up to the sky and never forget why you are making the journey.
Happy Memorial Day!

I discovered more a new challenge on this fat loss issue. 1 issue is a good nutrition is vital if dieting. A massive reduction in junk food, sugary food items, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and bright flour products may perhaps be necessary. Keeping wastes unwanted organisms, and toxins may prevent aims for fat-loss. While specified drugs briefly solve the matter, the horrible side effects will not be worth it, and in addition they never supply more than a temporary solution. It is just a known fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this site.

I have learned some significant things through your website post. One other point I would like to express is that there are many games available on the market designed especially for toddler age kids. They involve pattern identification, colors, pets, and forms. These commonly focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This will keep a child occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
